Love this. Well done Kolt.

I think next up is Judd McVee on a 10 to 15 year contract extension please. Thanks Tim.

3 young guns here for the long haul 


Bloody Tim Lamb, re-signing all our youngsters. What a disgrace.

The Mousepack is steadily signing up for roughly the remaining careers of Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Viney, May, Lever, etc., etc. - I reckon recognising how valuable that will be to them, both in the moment and for their futures. And then, hopefully, they will become the group their successors want to sign on to continue to play with!

And, not beyond the realms of possibility, the remaining Melbourne careers of Goowin and the coaching team...

And that useless Simon Goodwin who players love to play under.

And Rivers and Kozzy, need them to be Demons for life

Both are signed until 2027, as they both extended last year.

I dare say it was a good move to re-sign Rivers before he explodes as a midfielder.

I love this kid - but....

Do we jump too quickly with some of the contracts based on a handful of games?

Yes, he's going okay (at best), but has done nothing to warrant a 4 year extension at this point. Why not hold for off 12 months? 

How's the ridiculous Laurie extension looking at the moment? 

Long contract but I like it. Building the nucleus of our next premiership side with these guys.

Exactly the same thing was said about Rivers, McVee and Roo when they originally extended. 
We obviously don’t think we will delist him in the next 4 years and believe it’s better to sign him now on less coin, than what he potentially might be worth in 2 years time. 
You always have the upper hand when a player is in contract when it comes to trading as well. 
It is a savvy list management move that allows us to assess our cap longer term as we try to lure bigger name players from other clubs. 

What has Laurie’s contract extension stopped us from doing? He isn’t taking up a significant chunk of cap, nor would we have delisted him by now.

Four, five if you count Jefferson: roo, kolt, disco, jeffo and Windsor.

This is exactly why I like to lean into known facts rather than the where there's smoke palaver.

Known fact #1

Mutiple players have recently  recommitted to the MFC.

Of the top of my head, that list includes: jeffo, roo  chin, Petty, Windsor, the kolt, AMW (I think) and disco - and I'm probably missing some.

Apply Occam's razor to the question of why so many players, particularly young guns who would def get picked up by other clubs, have decided their medium term future lies with dees.

What is the answer?

“ Lamby Had A Little Pack”

I’m rapt about this. This guy is going to be a gun ❤️💙


"Get 'em while they're concussed", that's what my mum always said.

But seriously, it takes effort not to get ahead of myself on this kid. We've got a deadly weapon in our hands here.

Will be a major part of our 2028 premiership.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
